— The global internet is rich in commodity resources but scarce in specialized resources. We argue that a grid framework can achieve better performance if it separates management...
Under mild conditions, it can be induced from the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition that the Pareto set, in the decision space, of a continuous multiobjective optimization problem is (m...
In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
In this paper, we propose a Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The theoretical framework relies on Bayesian est...
